OT: Arrest warrant issued for former Lion/Spartan Charles Rogers
Uh oh...
SAGINAW, Mich. -- A judge has ordered the arrest of Charles Rogers after the former Detroit Lions wide receiver failed to appear at a court hearing in Saginaw.
The 31-year-old is charged with making a malicious phone call and conspiring to commit that crime on March 5 and 6, and possessing marijuana, possessing an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle and operating a motor vehicle on a suspended or revoked license in December.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft was scheduled to attend a pre-trial hearing on Wednesday. MLive.com says Rogers called court officials to tell them he didn't have transportation.
Saginaw County District Judge A.T. Frank gave Rogers until the end of the working day to appear. When Rogers didn't show, the judge issued a bench warrant.

Sad, but not surprising in the slightest.
One of the things he's being charged with is conspiring to commit a malicious phone call?
He threatened something via phone and then conspired to commit the crime he threatened that he would commit on the phone. Obviously.
The 31-year-old is charged with making a malicious phone call and conspiring to commit that crime...
I totally misread that, and thought that by "that crime" they meant the phone call. Your reading makes way more sense, haha.
I read it that way too. That's a sure sign it's time to knock off for the day and start hitting the Busch Light.
Jolly Pumpkin Biere de Mars...Busch Light...eh they're all the same thing.
I gotta have something with flavor! Did that sound beer-snobbish. It probably sounded beer-snobbish. I want a beer.
The phone call was to his mother who he threatened to kill over a house payment.
At least none of the current Lions are getting into troub.....wait.....nevermind
I'm glad that you posted the link after copying and pasting the entire story!
At this point this is just really, really sad. Actually, it passed that point some time ago. There is an amount of trouble that warrents mocking, then there are sad tales from people who appear unable to change or make good for themselves. Rogers was a great WR at State and in his short amount of time not injured in the pros. This story continues to get worse and there appears to be little hope. I guess solice can come in the fact that if he ever does turn it around, he'll almost surely be getting paid by Hollywood for his story.
...it was a lot more fun, ridiculing the fact that someone could make an entire criminal law textbook out of just the wide reciever corps at MSU.
and report if there are instances when the police are not looking for him
It was sad when he was found drunk and asleep at a restaurant bar at like 10 in the morning...

Wasted talent.
